Teaching Portfolio
| I assembled the following portfolio to take stock of my taught courses, describe my teaching approach and give insight about what I have learned along the way.
I started as undergraduate student and headed my way up to Assistant Professor. My teaching area is oriented towards theoretical and experimental foundations of electronics for data acquisition systems. As responsible of core courses for senior level engineering students, my lessons cover a broad range of subjects – from the electrical translation of physical magnitudes up to their representation and processing in the digital world. |

Additionally, I perform as co-instructor of the Spanish version of the MOOC “Learning How to Learn” offered by UC San Diego through Coursera, and its MOOC sequel “Mindshift”, which provides useful tools to enhance the learning process by means of research in neuroscience and cognitive behavior.

Teaching Philosophy
As a teacher, I am in charge of the construction of a safe environment that allows students discover, learn, and make mistakes. I encourage them to take risks, engage with the course objectives and clarify misunderstandings. In return, I feel grateful when students discover a way to expand my own understanding of the subjects with their particular contributions.
Since the first day of class, I strongly suggest my students to pay attention to details, especially those related to calling things by their own name. This way, the information flows more efficiently in the classroom, and also with external peers. I advise to take nomenclature seriously, and to express ideas clearly in both written and oral language. I consider communication skills are fundamental to enable human cooperation in many fields.
What I Teach ?
Currently, I am in charge of three courses oriented to fourth year students of the electronics engineering career at Universidad Simón Bolívar. Each course is suited for a three-month period that is meticulously scheduled in twelve weeks of activities.
EC3179 – Electronics for Industrial Control and Data Acquisition I
This course is oriented towards the translation of physical variables up to their representation in the digital world, with a focus in analog to digital and digital to analog conversion, sensors, signal processing and an introduction to digital electronics.
